Line 1: {{work}} [[File:A_Fix_with_Sontarans_1120.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\| ''Dear Jim,''~~<br />~~ ''I like Dr. Who very much because I have got Colin Baker's Doctor Who suit made by my Nan and a tent TARDIS. Please could I see Colin Baker and go inside the TARDIS.''~~<br />~~ ''Yours sincerely Gareth Jenkins (Age 8).'' }} Line 9: Ladies and gentlemen, "A Fix with Sontarans". The story begins with Colin Baker's Doctor bumbling around the TARDIS, desperately fiddling with the center console while he mumbles things. With a flash, former companion Tegan Jovanka ''(having [[Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~/Recap/S21 E4/E04 Resurrection of the Daleks\|left the Doctor]] earlier)'' is somehow now on the TARDIS. Throwing aside most problems with the Doctor having regenerated again ''(handy, as Tegan [[Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~/Recap/S18 E7/E07 Logopolis\|saw this happen before]])'', the Doctor quickly announces that Sontarans <ref> This special was broadcast during [[Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~/Recap/S22 E4/E04 The Two Doctors\|The Two Doctors]]' transmission period, which explains why the Sontarans also appear here.</ref> have invaded his TARDIS somehow and are going to blow it up. With a bomb. And that he needs help, [[Jerkass\|but didn't mean for her to show up]]. While arguing with Tegan some more, the Doctor accidentally smacks the same controls again and summons the mighty, the powerful... ...approximately 8-year-old Gareth Jenkins, dressed in a smaller version of the 6th Doctor's outfit. Gareth quickly agrees to help set a trap for the Sontarans, and Tegan is asked to help out by...getting Gareth a box to stand on. Nice one, Doctor. The Doctor and Gareth then press a lot of buttons, mostly consisting of the Doctor saying lines and Gareth repeating them exactly back as he does the action. Within seconds, the Sontarans storm the control room of the TARDIS...and are shocked to hear that this child is ''the'' Gareth Jenkins. Line 17: Host Jimmy Savile then shows up and gives Gareth an award while [[Breaking the Fourth Wall\|smashing the fourth wall into bits]]. === This mini-episode provides examples of: === * [[Absentee Actor]]: Nicola Bryant wasn't available to be Peri, so they got Janet Fielding to reprise her role as Tegan instead. * [[Ascended Fanboy]]: The ''whole point'' of this damned thing. * [[Canon ~~Dis Continuity~~Discontinuity]]: Later writers of [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe]] novels for the franchise try to pass this off as a nightmare suffered by the Doctor. * [[I Kiss Your Hand]]: Jimmy Savile does this to Janet Fielding. What a pimp. * [[I'm Melting]]: The fate of the Sontarans. Line 27: * [[Old Shame]]: Anyone who was involved in this from the ''Doctor Who'' side, it seems. Gareth Jenkins himself, [[The New Tens\|now]] in his mid-thirties, has reportedly been spotted at conventions and is surprised to be recognized, so it doesn't seem to have done him any lasting trauma. * [[Something Completely Different]] * [[Shout -Out]]: The Sontaran leader is Group Marshal Nathan. His subordinate, who is not named on-camera, was referred to as "Turner" in the script. {{reflist}} [[Category:Doctor Who (TV)/Recap]]▼ [[Category:Doctor Who 1985 JFIGSA Fix With Sontarans]] [[Category:Recap]] [[Category:Doctor Who]] ▲[[Category:Doctor Who ~~(TV)~~/Recap]]
